The Heart & Soul Behind Sunny Belly
Meet Hayley Evelyn
As a mom, I know how overwhelming big emotions can be—for both kids and parents. When my son struggled to express his feelings during COVID, I searched for resources to help. I found that while many books talk about deep breathing, none actually teach kids how to do it in a fun, engaging way.
That’s why I created Sunny Belly—a hands-on tool that helps children and families practice mindful breathing using a simple pinwheel technique. My mission is to make emotional wellness accessible, playful, and empowering, giving kids the tools they need to navigate their feelings with confidence.
